Galibore Nature Camp and Riverbank
The camp has a small number of tented cottages spread along the riverbank, each with a hammock outside. Days revolve around the Kaveri: coracle rides, riverside walks, wading in shallow lagoons when the water drops, and a bonfire with a barbecue at night. The rapids here were once famous with anglers, which is why many people still search for the galibore fishing camp, but fishing is no longer allowed. Stays are booked through Jungle Lodges and Resorts.

Bangalore
Departure Point
Your journey to Ooty begins from Bangalore, the gateway to South India's most beloved hill stations. Pick-up is available from any part of the city — Koramangala, Electronic City, Whitefield, Hebbal, Yeshwanthpur, Marathahalli, or Majestic. The most common route out of Bangalore takes you onto NH275, the six-lane Mysore Expressway, which is one of the smoothest and best-maintained national highways in Karnataka. An early departure between 5 AM and 6 AM is strongly advised to clear Bangalore city limits before peak traffic begins. The first 50 km on the expressway are fast, comfortable, and lightly trafficked in the early hours, setting a pleasant tone for the journey ahead. Our drivers are experienced in choosing the optimal departure window and route based on real-time traffic conditions, ensuring that the first stretch of your Bangalore to Ooty road trip is efficient, calm, and enjoyable from the very first kilometre.

Udayapura
Home of the Art of Living International Centre
The drive leaves the city through Banashankari and Konanakunte, crossing the NICE Road flyover where Kanakapura Road finally frees up. Udayapura is home to the Art of Living International Centre, whose lotus-shaped meditation hall is visible from the approach. Elapsed time: about forty minutes.

Harohalli
Kaggalipura
Villas and farmland give way to open country beyond Kaggalipura. Harohalli, with its large industrial area, is the busiest town on this stretch, and several restaurants along the highway make it a handy breakfast halt before the rural roads begin. Elapsed time: about one hour.

Kanakapura
Silk and Granite Town
Granite quarries and mulberry fields line the road into Kanakapura, a town long known for silk and granite. Fill up on fuel, cash and any snacks here, as there are few shops beyond this point. Elapsed time: about one hour thirty minutes.

Chunchi Falls
Doddaalahalli
The Sangama road narrows and winds south past coconut plantations and small villages, entering drier, rockier country. Just past Doddaalahalli, a signboard marks the side road to Chunchi Falls if you want a short detour. Elapsed time: about two hours.

Sangama
Where the Arkavathi Joins the Kaveri
The road descends into the Kaveri valley and the forest thickens as you enter the sanctuary area. Sangama appears as a broad stretch of sand and water where the two rivers meet. Weekend traffic can slow the last kilometre. Elapsed time: about two hours twenty minutes.

Galibore
The Windy Hillock on the Kaveri
The final leg follows a forest track that is drivable but unpaved and often missing from map apps. Our drivers follow the Jungle Lodges directions and take it slowly over ruts and stones. The track ends at the camp reception, where staff help with luggage. Elapsed time: about two hours forty-five minutes.

How to Book a Car for Rent in Bangalore — Step-by-Step
Booking a Car for hire in Bangalore with Tejas Travels takes under 5 minutes. Follow these 4 steps:
STEP1 | Contact Tejas Travels Call or WhatsApp +91 9980277773, or email info@tejastravels.com — available 24 hours, 7 days a week. Share your travel date, Bangalore pickup location (area or landmark — Whitefield, Electronic City, MG Road, Koramangala, KIA airport, hotel name, tech park), destination or full itinerary, number of passengers, and preferred vehicle. For KIA airport pickups, share the flight number — the driver tracks live flight status and adjusts pickup timing for delayed flights automatically. For luxury vehicles (Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Rolls-Royce), also mention the occasion — corporate, wedding, VIP event — so the team can ensure the best-condition vehicle and, where required, formal chauffeur attire. |
STEP2 | Receive Your Written Quote Within 2 hours of your enquiry, Tejas Travels sends a written quote via WhatsApp or email. The quote clearly itemizes every charge: vehicle hire rate (Rs/km or flat package), driver allowance (Rs 400-1,000/day depending on vehicle class), applicable toll estimates, and any interstate permit if applicable (Tamil Nadu for Ooty, Kerala for Wayanad, Andhra Pradesh for Tirupati). No verbal-only prices — everything in writing before you confirm. For corporate clients requiring reimbursements, a Proforma Invoice can be issued at this stage. If you want to compare two vehicle classes, request both quotes at the same time. |
STEP3 | Confirm Your Booking & Pay Advance Once satisfied with the written quote, confirm via WhatsApp or phone. A 15-20% advance payment confirms the booking. Payment: UPI (Google Pay, PhonePe, Paytm), NEFT/IMPS/RTGS bank transfer, or credit/debit card via payment link. Advance receipt within 30 minutes. Confirmation includes: driver name and mobile, vehicle registration, departure time, pickup location, and full billing breakdown — all in writing. For luxury vehicles (Rolls-Royce Ghost, BMW 7 Series, Mercedes S-Class), advance may be higher due to limited fleet and Bangalore peak-date demand (wedding season November-February, New Year). |
STEP4 | Your Driver Arrives Early Your assigned Tejas Travels driver arrives at your confirmed Bangalore pickup point 15 minutes before scheduled departure. For KIA airport transfers, the driver coordinates at the Arrivals gate. The vehicle is clean, sanitized, fuelled, and ready. For wedding and VIP bookings, the driver arrives in formal attire. The driver calls 30 minutes before arrival as a courtesy. During the trip, the driver handles all routing, toll payments, and Bangalore traffic navigation. At trip end, balance payment is settled after deducting the advance. Any additional km or hours are billed at the pre-agreed rate. |
Quick Booking for Hire: WhatsApp +91 9980277773 with your vehicle preference, Bangalore pickup location, destination, and travel date. Written quote in 2 hours.

What Our Customers Say About Our Cab Services in Bangalore
Why Choose Tejas Tours and Travels?
Frequently Asked Questions — Bangalore to Galibore Cab
The galibore nature camp distance from bangalore is about 102 kilometres via Kanakapura Road, Kanakapura and Sangama, with the last eight kilometres on a forest road. The drive takes about two and a half to three hours.
Many map apps do not show the final forest track from Sangama. Our drivers use the directions shared by Jungle Lodges and Resorts, and you can call the camp for guidance. Try to arrive in daylight.
The track is drivable in a sedan in dry weather, taken slowly. After heavy rain, an SUV or Innova is more comfortable, and we will advise you when you book.
The camp is designed for booked guests, and day visit options vary. Check with Jungle Lodges and Resorts before planning a day trip. Sangama and Mekedatu nearby are open to day visitors.
No. Although the camp was once famous for mahseer angling, fishing is not permitted now. Coracle rides, nature walks and birdwatching are the main activities.
Fares start from around Rs 2,317 for a sedan and rise for SUVs, Innova models and luxury cars. The fare includes base fare, fuel and driver allowance. Toll, parking, any forest or entry fees, GST and driver bata after 9:45 PM are extra, and the final rental is based on total kilometres and hours from our garage to garage. You get an itemised written quote within 2 hours.
A 20 percent advance of the total fare confirms your booking, paid by UPI, bank transfer or card. The balance is settled at the end of the trip.
A small advance of around 20 percent of the total fare is typically collected at the time of booking to secure the vehicle and driver allocation, with the remaining balance payable at
the end of the trip either in cash directly to the driver or online via a payment link.
